I’d also like to mention that I recently tried to use bay leaves to protect
against silverfish. Guess what. The silverfish made themselves a dandy little
nest in those bay leaves. They loved them.

Dear spiders,
Recently I have noticed a lot messages being posted without trimming
irrelevant content, footers, headers, etc. I know that it can be hard
to remember to trim when you're using smartphones and tablets but
please try to do this, especially if you're posting a one-liner.

When I taught pre-school we ran into issues like this with some children
with lice and scabies now and again. Parents would frequently ask what to
do with stuffed animals. The best thing I have heard is to put the pillows
into a plastic bag for an extended period after getting out the air and

There are many strong aromatic herbs in addition to sweet bay that will repel
insects, but:
-repelling is preventing something from settling in, not killing what has
already made it's home; herbs that discourage colonization may not be as
effective for chasing them away once they're down inside
Hi everyone
The Arachne website is coming along beautifully with scans from the

If it gets cold outside where you live, maybe you can put it in a protective
plastic bag and put it outside for a few days when the temps are below freezing.

I always felt that any lace collar worn at a beheading would be ruined by
the blood! (if not the axe!) this is why I was rather suspicious about this
collar being worn by Charles 1, at his execution.
It seems odd that the first reference in the Catalogue was a glove, and then
it suddenly became
Hello All! Many thanks to all who have written with help & suggestions. I
posted a pic of the page in question on Arachne Flickr & Sue B has kindly made
it into a JPEG. If anyone has a copy of the IOLI charter chapter cd from 2008
& would be willing to look for it, we would be most grateful.
Thank you, it worked.

I just clicked on the link you supplied: http://www.cs.arizona.edu,
There is no reference to lace on this page. Could you please supply

Well, yes and no... It does sound drastic! If the pillow has little intrinsic
or sentimental value, I would agree. Before I retired, I was lucky enough to
acquire a couple of wonderful pillows, and they are my "go-to" pillows now. If
infested, I would definitely opt for letting the dead verm
This book was scanned on "Arizona" in 2002. Can't believe it was that long

Gutenburg. Good luck!

Hi Jane
Try your local vet or possibly a pharmacist for a safe, effective
household insecticide spray (over-the-counter ones from supermarkets/pet
stores are mostly a waste of time & money) - Indorex which our vet
prescribed to deal with a household flea-infestation, is also effective

Hi Sharon,
Books about lacemaking are generally published in fairly short runs, simply
because there are still relatively few people in the general population who
make lace (as opposed to people who cook, for example). So the book is
released, bought by vendors, and if it is well received, by
It may sound a bit drastic but.. what about throwing your pillow away and
making a new one? I wouldn't like to work on a pillow with dead mites in it!

Our club was just offered a largish collection of lace books to buy from an
old lace maker. The current owner had priced them out on EBay and Amazon.
Well, I thought the asking prices were a bit inflated until I checked our
regular suppliers and elsewhere. Turns out that most of these books have

Another possibility is heat, depending on what your pillow is made of. If it is
all wood, straw, natural fibers a temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit would
probably kill them (that temperature kills bed bugs).

I’d be worried about using the pesticide. Don’t forget that when you’re back
making lace you'll have your face close to your pillow for hours at a time.
Does the temperature go below freezing where you live? Because you could just
put it in a plastic bag and stick it outside.

Store your pillows in cloth bags or similar with some dried Bay leaves, they do
not smell but keep just about anything away. Also a good trick to put in your
dry food jars (like rice, pasta etc.

Hi All,
I can no longer ignore the fact that the lace pillow I've used for years
has mites. They keep popping up among my threads.
I've searched the arachne archives, where freezing seems to be the best
recommendation, although spraying in some way is another. Unfortunately
my pillow is too
